Tabletop: Playfully Sophisticated

Bow tie & bustle designer Jenn Elliott Blake frequently draws from Scout Vintage Rental Co, her collection of one-of-a-kind props, when she’s working with clients to make a scene. For this one, she imagined a fun-and-games couple who take food, community, and simple pleasures very seriously. Guests will recall the individual artisan-made cherry-almond pies, industrial-chic lighting, bright backyard blooms, and overall upscale-picnic ambience whenever they crack open the classic deck of playing cards that served as a favor and marked their place at this festive and cheery table.
